As the crypto industry embraces decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-custodial platforms, a new decentralized crypto exchange called Dyor aims to play a pivotal role in this transition by driving financial interactions through a community-driven approach. With the goal of promoting financial freedom, Dyor seeks to socialize everyday investors and introduce them to the Web3 space.

In the wake of the FTX collapse, investor interest in DeFi and non-custodial finance has been on the rise. A recent report highlighted that 40% of crypto trading platforms have started utilizing decentralized technology, with retail demand outpacing institutional demand. However, the transition to Web3 and DeFi comes with a learning curve, as non-custodial platforms often lack user-friendly tools for investment.

Addressing this adoption challenge, Dyor positions itself as a compelling alternative to traditional finance by improving access and usability for non-custodial platforms.

Simplifying Crypto Investments

Dyor is a decentralized investment platform that provides a simple, transparent, and non-custodial alternative for investors transitioning to DeFi from the chaos of traditional crypto exchanges. Available on both iOS and Android, Dyor integrates features designed to enhance the user's investing experience, such as wallet swaps, bridging, asset management, and tracking.

The platform supports more than 30 fiat currencies and offers access to multiple chains, including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and other Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible infrastructures in a single wallet. Dyor offers lower fees than its on-chain and centralized exchange competitors, with 30% of the platform fees returning to users who stake its native token, DYOR.

Community Engagement and Social Investing

In the DeFi ecosystem, community engagement is foundational. Dyor embraces a community-centric approach, allowing users to create profiles to share trades, token purchases, market opinions, and crypto-related insights through their "All Things Crypto" feed. The feed also aggregates news from 129 sources, providing a comprehensive market view.

Dyor is exploring integrations with platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Discord, and other social media channels to further enhance its news aggregation capabilities.

Through the Dyor app, investors have the opportunity to connect and draw on mutual experiences for more advantageous deals. Users can access the follow-trading feature, where they can imitate the actions of experienced investors, and the social investing model, where investments are made in line with a specific goal.

Empowering Users and Promoting Inclusivity

With minimal steps, users can discover new tokens, benefit from Dyor's live price alerts, access market news, and easily integrate their assets. The app sends notifications about market movements and allows users to manage their assets, send tokens, and calculate their portfolio's profit and loss.

By engaging with other participants, taking part in events, participating in competitions, and completing milestones, users can earn the platform's native token, DYOR. Users can also receive token rebates from the trading volume generated by the users they bring into the platform.

Markuss Jonans, CEO of Dyor, emphasized the importance they attach to simplicity and social interaction, stating, "We aspire to be the app where users navigate the intricate landscape of allocating their capital on-chain, identify which tokens to acquire and discern the narratives that captivate and stand out the most."

Jonans also highlighted the overwhelming interest in the platform, with the waiting list on their website collecting over 450,000 registrations, exceeding their initial estimate of less than 100,000 users. This interest underscores the potential of non-custodial alternatives to traditional finance solutions.

As user-friendly, secure, and inclusive financial platforms like Dyor continue to shape the future of investing, investment and financial services paradigms will be redefined on a global scale, democratizing access to DeFi and empowering everyday investors in the Web3 space.
